On the proposed changes to Ninja in 6.1

[aloneatsea]

I have never heard of this Doton opener before. I usually cast Huton, go into Hide, and use Kaiton followed by Doton for large groups of mobs.

I guess I'm not too bothered by that change as much as I never used it before. Honestly, I like most of the changes to NIN. Have to play with the new changes to Mug and TA first though to get a better opinion.

It was only used in single-target situations! You'd cast Huton, drop a Doton, then Hide and immediately prepare Suiton, using it as the countdown hit 1. The tank would then pull the boss into your Doton, for a cheeky bit of damage. It also meant putting Phantom Kamaitachi inside your first Trick window was better than Aeolian Edge under Bunshin, as Phantom would proc Hollow Nozuchi for more overall damage. While not huge, it still felt good to do.
